£1900 bids will go over limit
 

I just realised, I only got £200 left before paypal might give me the lift limits at £1900 email.

I am listing something and it has bid way over what I was expectin and will breach receiving limit by a long way.

will I be able to withdraw money or will it get held?

I want money out in case verification goes wrong.

do I get certain amount of time to submit id if I go over limit or do I need to do it straight away and they hold money ??

if you tell me that the money will get held, is the best thing to do to add a different paypal to it??

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

It will get held until the docs have been provided.

I would not add another PP, that would just cause potential issues later on.

Get the docs submitted asap.

Worse comes to worse you will just have to wait 180 days.

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

More poor advice. Never a good idea to harass paypal over document reviews. It can end badly.

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

agreed, it depends how long there is til auction ends, I would allow a week...last thing you want is money stuck in there...

the add another paypal option, it depends, it can be done but risky....l did it once but a long while ago before forum, for different reason, I sold something for a relative and wanted payment to go direct to them......I hear on the forums it is doable but not long term......

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

also did you know that the email can come before £1900, you said you were £200 away, so you need to be careful at about £1600 onwards....

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

I think there is £1400 received already, so you sayin it is not £1900 it is £1600????

do I need to earn £1900 or over to get funds held or £1600? if the notification is at £1600
does that mean it is held from that point or not until £1900?? because there may be some negotiation I can do with buyer to keep it just under

but i really need clear explanation and would be very greatful asap!!

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

An automatic trigger for a request of docs happens at £1650.

You can carry on selling and withdrawing until you hit £1900.

At £1900 the account get limited until docs are provided.

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

You will get a request for documents when you hit £1650. At this point you can still withdraw from the account.

The account becomes limited when you reach £1900.

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

Beat me to it. ;)

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

:ranger:

It is a bad idea. Avoid calling PP or EB when ever possible. Why draw attention to your account unnecessarily?

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

yes, sorry should have clarified, what I meant was if you go up to £1600 ish you are ok
no need for docs, but if you go over this you can still receive/withdraw/send up to £1900 but docs need to be provided or you will not be able to do any more trading.....

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

You can still receive money into the account, you just cannot withdraw or spend that money

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

Another point is that paypal could reverse the payment regardless.

Has the account had enough activity to handle a large amount?

:mod:

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

it has been running a year and had several hundred go in.

The auction is runing out in a day and no result from lift limts yet. Is it a bad thing to add a different paypal to the auction? it is in different name and address details.

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

You have asked that already and its already been answered.

It is not a good idea.

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

for me it is better idea than receive money and if verification refused and hold money.

I would like few more views, maybe people who have done it and outcomes.

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

You run the risk of loosing both accounts if you do that, and any eBay account the second PP is linked to.

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

that is weird, pretty sure I read on forum that people even attaching different country mismatches = it said does not work long term though.

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

It does not work long term because their accounts get shut down due to all the mismatching info.

Which bit do seems weird?

removing paypal linked to ebay auction
 

I want to be paid by paypal but if i remove the paypal link from ebay under account settings, what will happen when auction finishes,

will it affect auction?

will buy get a message/

can i invoice buyer seperately via paypal, or will this be flagged or seen as fee avoiance or something else

Re: removing paypal linked to ebay auction
 

The auction itself will be linked to your PayPal. Only way to remove link is to change the payment business policy on the auction (which can only be done under certain circumstances)

If you want to get paid by PayPal, why do you want to remove PayPal fromt he auction?

Re: removing paypal linked to ebay auction
 

my paypal is under review, what I do not want is money going in to it until I am ready. I want option to invoice them with the paypal but not necessarily straight after auction. I also want option of invoicing them with a different paypal if the other verification fails.

It is a mess but i have to deal with it now, as bids went right over what I expected.

I need to know if this is even possible for UK.

if i remove paypal link, does if affect aution eg. does it mean i am no longer offerig paypal if no link??

Re: removing paypal linked to ebay auction
 

well once they win the auction, they wont be able to pay anyway I think, is is limited and doesn't accept payments or limited and does accept payment ?

Re: removing paypal linked to ebay auction
 

tell me more about this- so if i remove the paypal address under the settigs, the auction is still linked to the original paypal/ really/

Re: removing paypal linked to ebay auction
 

this relates to your thread about reaching the £1900 money laundering limit.

Threads merged for clarity of responses.

Re: removing paypal linked to ebay auction
 

Yes

Its not a good plan to invoice them from another PayPal. That could lead to that PayPal also having issues later on.

Only way to remove the PP link from that auction is to cancel auction, redo auction using a different payment method. Again, not a good plan though as it will link your new PP with your EB and your old PP.

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

so if I go to acc settings now, it will not let me remove I will get error message?

cos i just tried and removed link and did not replace it and nothing happend to auction. so you are saying under payment policy there is still written the paypal email address?? so even if i change it replace it under acc settings the paypal email is fixed??

so if bids are on there, no way to change payment policy?

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

The PayPay payment method is linked to the auction itself. It does not matter what you do in eBay settings that will not remove the link to the PayPal email address that has already been put into the auction.

Only way to remove that is to cancel the auction and start again with a new PayPal email address. Again, this is a bad idea as it will cause links.

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

i see people accepting only $1000 or £1000 via paypal on their listing, how does that work??

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

You will need to explain that a bit more

Do you mean that you have seen listing in which people say they will accept £x amount if paid directly though PayPal?

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

yeh I see it alot. and rest by bank transfer.

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

Well they are obviously just trying to avoid PayPal and eBay fees. Eventually ebay will catch on and shut them down for trying to avoid said fees. Pretty daft way to lose an account just to try to save a few £

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

anyway the listing ended few mins ago and no payment yet. it went way over, if I receive money in paypal now it will be stuck there, no result to verification, I did not call them as scared.

very stuck what to do now. should i contact buyer and say somthing? like ask for lower offer, seems mad, but if they pay via ebay link then they will be anngry if there is a hitch too

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

Just wait until the verification either fails or goes though.

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

Take a deep breath and settle down.

Avoid rattling yourself.

Making waves backfires.

:peace:

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
 

calm down and hope for the best, not in your control at present.

has the winning bidder contacted you ?

Re: £1900 bids will go over limit
